Description of problem: While evaluating and running local watchdog tests, I see it wants to upload the file /var/log/messages file but I didn't see this happening in my test. This is an important file as stderr/stdout of restraintd go to this file. The logic for this seems to overlop with journalctl in 20_sysinfo. Neither seems to be working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: At this time this was noticed, I was working on tests to remove rhts from restraint installs. 1. Spawn a job using harness="restraint" and it does not include "restraint-rhts or beakerlib". 2. Objective of 1: You do not want rhts on the installed system. 3. Then force a job to expire due to local watchdog. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Closing this BZ as I've learned from recent testing, I've discovered when journalctl exists the output from this tool is presented; otherwise, it gets it from /var/log/messages (older RHEL release).
